Connecting and Configuring your Router

Setup Assistant

Belkin has provided Setup Assistant software to make installing your Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router up and running in minutes. The Setup Assistant requires that your Windows 2000, XP, or Vista™ computer be connected directly to your ADSL and that the Internet connection is active and working at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual to configure your Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other than Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, or Mac OS X, you must use the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual.
